Default Exigecy In Exile

This song is called "Exigency In Exile" (misspelled it in the title, duh me). Its a new song our band started working on. Its kinda mid-tempo with clean guitars on verses and distorted guitars for chorus. There is also a instrumental breakdown after the chorus is played for the 2nd time. Hopefully we can record it sometime soon. I really like the whole feeling and vibe the song has. The lyrics are really poetic, but they mean alot to me.

We all came up with the music, and I wrote the lyrics, so here they are:

CH:
And the world falls down
Hope breaks my heart, <screamed> the pressure outside of us
I've honered all
To stem the tide, <screamed> thats crushing us, killing us

V1:
Take up the bat, becoming less humble
I'm loosing my head, walking out instead
Looking for a home

Under this fire, stuck in the mire
Their words are dead, Lack of statements said
The courage it does roam


V2:
Hoping for justice, then we can run this
The armor has rust, learning who to trust
Focus on disease

The load, fighting back, Straining my back
Step in the tide, Feel it all run wide
Unknowing what to say

eh,

while the title is awesomely cool (its cool if i have to look up the word) the actual song seems rather cliched.

What makes you say that? Just curious... I really like it and I try to stay away from cliche's. Maybe I'm missing something.

these two lines especially. broken hearts is about as cliche as possible. and the second coupling has a "nu metal" feel to it

^ Thanks for the feedback. Well, as I said, I'm trying to be as un-cliche as possbile. I can't really think of any other way to say how I felt in the situation other than the "Hope breaks my heart" line, so I guess it will just have to be cliche. I don't really see the nu-metal connection, but once again, thats the only way I can see to express that. When I wrote the song (and still to this day), I feel a real connection to the lyrics. They wern't meant to be some "emo" song, or cliche at all for that matter, they were just meant to be real and heartfelt. I'm not trying to imitate any band or particular style. Just trying to make music that I love and enjoy playing. Once again, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!

I'm not saying you were trying to or anything, mine come out this way sometimes too, all it takes is some revision, but if you like it, than that's all that matters

I donno how I could change the lines without changing the meaning too much from what it is now. Maybe I should think about it some more...

1. I like the name change

2. I dig the music. The singing ain't bad. The screaming sounds very metal.


overall 8/10. I would really like to see you guys live sometime. Where are you from?
